F41 was a suspension & handling package that was available on several GM models over the years. For some reason early Cavaliers that came equipped with the option had emblems on the dash & trunk that said "F41". I can't tell if they actually classified it as a submodel, or if it just was an emblem letting everyone know the car came equipped with it.
Later F41 equipped models (RS / Z24) didn't include stickers or emblems of any kind denoting this option. The only way to tell if the car came with it is to look at the RPO code sticker on the vehicle.
I felt pretty clever showing but not featuring the Impala, because the Cavalier grabbed me a lot harder just because somehow I knew it was the rarer OPC. But then I realized I couldn't get a profile of the Impala, so it makes sense to add it to this post.
Loved the collection, loved the area, and I love how quickly I see that everyone gets this car.
As said earlier, F-41 is a suspension trim only, not the model. These emblems are pretty rare as they were only used when a model did not come with the F-41 suspension as standard. The Type-10 came with F-41 so it didnt get these badges, very few lower-line Cavaliers were optioned with it.
Certain 3rd gen base model Camaros also had a F-41 callout badge on the back bumper cover and they are also pretty rare.

Dude, this car is beyond rare. I would love to own it!
Can someone explain the F-41 designation? I realize the hatchback Cavaliers are already exceedingly rare.
Turbo,

A J-body hatchback of any kind is one helluva find. (Hey, I rhymed!)
Haha, what about that nice '62 chevy?
what a tremendous find, and i love the setting as much as the car(s).
i want to be there right now sipping a cup of coffee as the sun sets, chatting with the cranky owner.
It reminds me of my 1984 Oldsmobile Frenza S Coupe. That was a pretty good car.
I love that the entire upper half of the taillight is nonfunctional. Can't imagine why GM bothered to do this.
Absolute garbage.
C'mon Ben- I was waiting for the follow-up on the '62 behind it!

Here is a Cardomain pic of a baseline Camaro with the F41 callout:
